"Most people don't put it in quite those terms."

"I just bet they don't! Okay, so I'm going monospecies here, they will be super jazzy. Next?"

"The game Roses of Villarosa has three different romantic paths to choose from; each one has a love interest and a 'villainess' who is engaged to him. You get to pick which villainess you are and which love interest you start out engaged to. The villainess options are the Royal Princess, the Duke's Daughter, and the Rich Heiress."

"Do those have weird side effects or are they pretty much what they sound like?"

"They don't have weird side effects and are pretty much what they sound like."

"Does it get easier to mitigate my marital political complications if I'm not a princess or is that pretty much the same any which way?"

"If you're the Duke's Daughter then your engagement is important to your father's political plans and you can call on his resources to defend it, to a certain point. If you're the Rich Heiress, you don't have a noble title or the political power of the other options, but you have much more money at your disposal."

"Is having a father negotiable as long as I don't put 'daughter' in my role's name? That's a whole can of worms what with my already having parents."

She considers it. 

"I can't, off the top of my head, think of a way to make not having parents work, narratively speaking, but if you come up with an idea then I can see if it works."

"What do you mean narratively speaking?"

"I mean that being a princess or an heiress presupposes there being someone to inherit something from. And no, you cannot make Villarosa a Principality instead of a Kingdom, with the royal princess as its monarch. If you weren't so set on full retroactive immortality for everyone who counterfactually existed you could have dead parents, but."

"Inconvenient. Can I be a princess assigned to take over for the preexisting monarch by a prophecy or something like that if I think of a satisfactory way to bring up my, uh, parallel self, without parents."

She considers this. "I...suppose you could have prophecy-based succession instead of lineage-based, but if when and to whom the monarch abdicates is determined by prophecy, then there would be nothing stopping prophecies about your abdication occurring."

"I suppose. Can we put me and my universe on pause for a bit, let my homeworld run, reincarnate my actual parents? They're fine, I just don't wanna creepily duplicate them."

"Oh! Well, it's unconventional, but sure, I can put in a hold and a reincarnation requisition."

"Cool, okay. I guess I have to assign one of them to be my royal parent - or does it have to be my dad, you sort of implied it has to be my dad -"

She waves a hand. "No, no, king is the default but it can be either one. Unless you take the Patriarchy flaw, of course, but I can't imagine you doing that."

"It does not sound overwhelmingly appealing."

"It's a flaw, they're not supposed to be appealing."

"You're going to make me pick some, aren't you."

"There are options that make you take flaws, like elf, and you can take flaws in order to get more perks, but if you want zero flaws more than you want any of the things you can get by taking flaws you don't have to take any."

"Cool. I will probably go with being a princess. Next?"

"Next is your choice of fiance. The options are the Prince Charming, the Dark Rival, and the Noble Prodigy. The Prince Charming is the standard fairy-tale prince archetype he sounds like. If you choose the Princess Royal option, we can make him the brother of the Duke's Daughter, or ordinarily he could be a distant royal cousin still within the line of succession but far enough removed not to be incestuous. Or we can make incest socially acceptable. The Dark Rival is the rival of the Prince Charming, less optimistic and sincere the cynical rival who starts out stronger than the hero but is ultimately bested by him." She gestures at the pile of DVDs. "I don't know if you're familiar with the trope now but you will be if you watch all of these. In this case, the Dark Rival is by default the Prince Charming's brother, the Duke's Daughter's, or both. The Noble Prodigy is a member of the lowest rank of the nobility, but has already made a name for himself--by default as a warrior and commander, but I imagine your setting choices are going to obviate that. The oldest fiance option, he has already graduated from the Royal Academy where this romantic maneuvering takes place."

"How about something like, noble prodigy who discovered a nice planet and gets to rule it, I want to marry him to keep the planet generally in my monarchic influence and also get some practice in ruling things before I get the whole shebang, but the protagonist will do fine with the place when he'd rather marry her?"

She makes a note. "That works."
